Em Tested, Hairdresser Approved

Glamour tip for my gray, silver, white and platinum-haired friends: go to the art supply or craft store, get a pot of pearl powder pigment, and mix some of it with your styling goo in the palms of your hands, then put it in your hair. Result: shiny, shiny shiny-ness.

My darling hairstylist, Doug, assures me that it's safe, that he does this trick for glamour styles quite often, and that crumbling cheap eyeshadow up works too.

Caution: probably best to stay away from the toxic pigments. Personally, I'd avoid anything with cadmium, cobalt or chrome in its name.

Bona to vada your dolly old eek, palone. Your riah shusher* totally had the right idea. This picture needs to be one of your icons, STAT. The quality of light in it is extraordinary - the tones across your hair, your eyes, your cheek, your earings are so harmonious and lovely.


* Not typos: polari. It's a day for it today; it's all over the bloody place.

Okay. *sigh* Work work work.

Polari. From parlare, roughly. A form of cant. Wow. I had no idea--never heard of it. Fascinating! Am now translating...

Good to see your pretty old ecaf which is face spelled backwards and shortened, woman (or straw mattress--lovely!). Your riah which is hair spelled backwards dresser was right.

Yup, this eek is pretty old, all right. That's why it took me 45 shots to get three that weren't utterly demoralizing, and even then, cropping is my best friend.

See my next post.
